On March 27th, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announced the continuation of the experiment with time-based tolls for ETC users on the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line inbound lane (Kisarazu→Kawasaki direction) for the fiscal year 2024. The experiment aims to analyze the effectiveness of time-based pricing strategies during specific hours on weekends and holidays. The Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line implements this initiative to optimize traffic flow and manage congestion efficiently on the toll road.
